After leaving Atlanta Wilson later served as governor of New jersey and the head of Princeton. He lead us through WWI and founded the League of nations.

Pretty impressive guy.

"Atlanta is certainly a fast place in every sense of the word, and our friends in Atlanta are a fast people. They live fast and they die fast. They make money fast and they spend it fast. They build houses fast, and they burn them down fast. They have the largest public buildings, and the most of them, and they pass the most resolutions of any people, ancient or modern. To a stranger the whole city seems to be running on wheels, and all of the inhabitants continually blowing off steam. In short, everything and everybody in and about the place seems to be moving very fast…” - Milledgeville Newspaper Editorial 1867
